Anarchist subs on reddit are so quick to hate on AnPrims in my experience. It reminds me of the way meat-eaters react to vegans. It almost feels like they don't want to engage with AnPrims because they don't have an answer to their criticisms.

I'm still super keen to collectively put together a FAQ of common misconceptions around anti-civ things, if anybody is interested. I think it's be great to have something definitive to link to instead of rehashing arguments with people.

The idea that anticiv is a "death cult" when the opposite is demonstrably true (civilization destroys all life - has created the worst mass extinction in natural history). The idea that anticiv causes famine when the opposite is demonstrably true (civilization / agriculture has led to devastating famines) . The idea that the problem is capitalism, not civilization when those famines and ecocides have been going on under civilization long before capitalism.

EDIT

The lie that everyone died when they were 30 before civ.

EDIT

The idea that we need industrial agriculture to feed the world, when the fact is that industrial agriculture sterilizes the soil and will soon make us unable to feed the population, cause a massive increase in the cost of food and bring us mass starvation, war, genocide.
